Words alone cannot capture the depth of emotion in this testimony. A voice from the past, once fighting against extremism and fascism, now speaks with heartbreak as history threatens to repeat itself. Watch, listen, and reflect.

BREAKING: The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals—made up of a Trump appointee, a Jimmy Carter appointee, and a George W. Bush appointee—rejected Trump's DOJ emergency request to lift a Seattle judge’s hold on his unconstitutional birthright citizenship executive order. So. Much. Winning

I did an event in IN a few weeks ago where I said that on 1/6/21 Mike Pence saved the country (for now) by being one of very very few who stood by his principles under maximum threat.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

This has all the hallmarks of a hostile takeover. Entire departments getting axed, with little thought given to critical functions, public safety or national security. Musk did it to Twitter. It glitched often. It was survivable. Glitches to the FAA, DOJ, FBI, CIA? Less survivable. Much less.

Also consider we already know the names of nearly a dozen DOGE employees who are inside our federal agencies, which means so do the spy agencies of every US enemy, who will try to compromise them if they don’t already have an insider.
